The 80960SB is a member of Intel’s i960^® 32-bit processor family, which is designed especially for low cost
embedded applications. It includes a 512-byte instruction cache, an integrated floating-point unit and a built-in
interrupt controller. The 80960SB has a large register set, multiple parallel execution units and a 16-bit burst
bus. Using advanced RISC technology, this high performance processor is capable of execution rates in excess
of 5 million instructions per second^*. The 80960SB is well-suited for a wide range of cost sensitive embedded
applications including non-impact printers, network adapters and I/O controllers.
